HAVE THE ANCHORS POLISHED.

On well,managed farm there
should never be time when it may
be said there is nothing to be done.
A ship captain, who lisa good liscip-
marian, when all other work fails,

polished. What the anchors are in
this respect to the ships comman-

farmer. To keep the implements
bright by cutting down weeds,
differs from polishing the anchors,
as it is useful work. A friend about

CATS.

In ancient times cats were favor
ably regarded. In Egypt they were
looked upon as sacred animals. To
kill one was punished with death
and when cat died in the course of
nature all the inmates of the house
had to go in mourning.
Among the Egyptian statues a
cat-headed deity is familiar, and
mummies of the sacred animal are
abundant. They are to be seen,
some two or three thousand years
old, in most modern collections of
antiquities.
AS late as the time of King Rich.
ard III, who died in the year 1400, a
race OF wild cats abounded in Eng
land. They are mentioned by name
in a charter to the Abbot of Peter
borough, permitting him to hunt
game in the royal Forests Cats
were introduced into England from
the Island of Cyprus, by merchants
who came to trade for tin, ametal
which then, as now, was largely
found in the southwestern shire of
Cornwall.
By the ancient laws of Wales, a
considerable money value was fixed
on cats and kittens. A good mouser
fetched fourpence, (the same price
as IA calf while a newborn kitten
was valued at a penny.

Peasant shooting is the favorite
amusement of the mad king, Otto of
Bavaria. But no peasants are kill
ed, although his Majesty fancies that
he has brought down several. The
way they manage the royal sport is
very simple. A fine hunting rifle is
handed to the King, and he imme-
diately posts himself in one of the
windows of his castle. Tue rifle is
loaded with a blank cartridge. A
man is hiied to post himself in a
thicket and to emerge from it at a
given signal. Immediately on his
appearance a royal head is drawn
upon him. The King fires the man
falls. and the servants put him upon
a stretcher and carry him off, while
his Majesty rubs his hands in de.
light. The peasant receives his pay
and puts IN his application for an
other job. 1t is a fine thing to have
a crazy King.

The beginning Of the End.

The beginning of disease is a slight debility
or disorder of some of the vital organs. the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually.
There are dyspeptic symptoms, the liver is
troublesome, the skin grows tawney and un-
healthy looking, there are pains in the right
side or through the right shoulder blade. The
climax is often an utter prostration of the
physical energies, perhaps fatal issue. But
If the difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's
remedy, and it should be resorted TO at an early
stage. there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon the
system often entailed by entirely cured dis
eases. Far better is it, also, to employ this
safe remedial agent in fever and ague. and
other malarfal complaints. than quinfne and
other potent drugs, which, even when they do
prove effectuai for time. ruin the stomach
and impair the general health.

a manner as to leave a light layer
of it upon the surface. The light
fine soil is of the greatest benefit as
a mulch in preventing evaporation
of moisture from below, it helps the
crops nearly as much as does the
cutting away the robber weeds, and
moreover this layer of light soil
quickly cools at night, and conden-
ses the dew within its pores, which
greatly benefits the crop. This is

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS.

The B. & o. r. r.. company have
again made a cut on their employees,
reducing their time from ten to eight
hours per day, with a corresponding
reduction in wages. This charitable
order went into effect last Friday, July
fst. BY it dollar and half men make
thirty cents per day less and SO fourth
and SO on. The men are respondent,
the town indignant. The order how
ever is not confined to Grafton. but
has gone into effect all along the line
and falls upon the. highest official as
well as the lowest laborer, in pro-
porti0nate degree of course. Various
opinions are given as to the cause OF
the reduction. Some think IL Is be-
cause of the recent wrecks on the roads
and others say Manager Clements has
been running the expenses little
higher than his predecessor Dunham
and is now endeavoring to retrench.
1t is a hardship among the men, what
ever the cause may be, and 1t Is to pc
hoped that the ten hour system will
speedily be resumed with a slight in-
crease Of wages at that.-Ed0le.

1t is an extraordinary spectacle
when the President of the United

every public criticism, whether it
concerns him officially or personally.
Certainly there has never before
been a President who was so anxi-
GUS to lay before the public his per
sonal motives, feelings. intentions,
Disappointment, and anxieties. An
official in Buffalo might perhaps see

THE SHADOW BEHIND THE SHAD-
OWED.


The party who reported the Mar
tinsburg celebration to the Wheeling
Register showed littleness unbecom-
ing any gentleman, by leaving Mr.C.
B. Hart unmentioned as one of the
speakers. The omission may not have
been intentional. but 1t looks very
much that way as Mr.. Hart was promi-
nent as any on the stand and made as
good speech excepting Mr.. Weeks.
Hampshire Rerieic.
Nobody is surprised here where the
celebrated "downer" is so well known
as the shadow behind the Swallowed.
The Continental was also ignored In
the same connection to make room for
SELF! Everything must be " down.
edr that will not down. But 1t Is
becoming pretty plain that our people
are inclined to steer clear of o snag
that proves lightweight all around,
lin politics and public affairs. But
for gall and cheek, give us the monu-
mental brass mine who would ask for
free ticket to a public dinner when
not invited and towards which no
contributed nothing. Living off of the
public shows how a "downer" can get
down."
And now they want to draw some
body out, as to who struck Billy Pat
terson. on the 4th Of July? "Bully for
youl' For the present it is sufficient
for us to know that he was stricken,
and it does the people good to see tho
soreness of the blow. Labor Is king

flies away from the wound.

FIRE.-One of the most destructive
fires our city has had for q long time,
broke out in A. II. Robinson's hard
ware store on Main street, last Monday
night. Shortly before / O'Clock the
alarm was given and in few minutes
the fire department was ready for ac-
ton. The "boys" had difficult task,
as the heat was too intense for them
to force an entrance to the building
and the smoke was SO dense inside
that they could not locate the flames.
Nevertheless they went to work with
a will, determined to save this fine
large building, which, was In fmmi-
nent danger, and fairly Inundated.
The winoWs were considerably broken
by the heavy streams Of water forced
In at every available point. After
about an hours work, In which the
" Little Giant did valiant work and
no doubt gained many friends, the fire
was pronounced out. 1t Is known
that the fire originated about centre
Of the store-room and the flames were
confined to the inside. The building
belongs to Evans Bros. and was con-
siderably damaged by water and fire.
The amount Of goods damaged for Mr..
Robinson Is supposed to be worth not
less than $780,. Insurance, $1,000.
Mr.. G.. w. Hensell, who has q dry
goods store in an adjoining room, was
allowed 1890 by the insurance cOmpa-
ny for damage to goods by water.
During the fire Mr. VIM. Robinson
was overcome by the smoke. and had
to be taken to the Taylor Hotel, but
Is about again. The fire was discover
ed just in time to save the building

WHY CAN'T WE DoITIN BERKELEY

The Pt. Pleasant Register asks few
questions which are SO pertinent that
THE HERALD adapts them and substi-
tutes Berkeley for Mason County,:
Why can't we pack hogs and ship
pork and lard instead Of shipping hogs
and buying back again what we want
to eat and use of them2 Why can't
we?
Why can't we in this county make
our corn into starch and ship 1t to tho
outside world instead of selling the
raw corn for others to manufacture
and sell back to us at prolific them?
Why can't we?
In this, the garden spot Of West
Virginia, where vegetables and small
fruits are so easily grown, why can't
we have canning establishments, and
prepare these luxurles for our own
winter tables and have large surplus
to ship to the outside world? There's
money in it-why can't we?
Berkeley is one Of the finest sheep
raising counties In the State, and the
wool clipped from our fockS is ship
ped east to be made into cloth, then
Shipped back to us to be bought at an
advance, for our wearing. Why can't
we have wooden mills here and save
the double freight, at least, to say
nothing of any further advantage in
the arrangement I? Why can't we?
Our soil is adapted to the raising of
broom corn, and likewise we use
brooms, for our people are a cleanly
people. We raise some broom corn
now, but why can't we raise more e?
and make broom factory boom as 1t
ought to?
The same question might be asked
ofvarious other Industries. Why can't
we have them here? Ours Is an agrl-
cultural, mining and manufacturing
State, and our county combines all
these qualities, and why can't we have
more manufacturing here?

ted in that quarter ere long, for it
has not been the custom heretofore
to scrutinize the accounts of disburs-
ing officers. 1t is really small won.
der that such loose methods has often
led to official crookedness, as in the
cases OF Bacon and Harvey. The
Interstate Commission has taken
emphatic and important action on
the motion of the Missouri Pacific
Railroads to dismiss the complaint
of the Wholesale grOcers of st. Louis,
as regards the issuing of mileage
tickets the corporation urging that
the Commission had no jurisdiction,
but the latter body declined to take
immediate action until the results of
the case had been fully discussed.
The Commission announced that its
purpose and policy will be to grant a
full aud prompt bearing to all causes
submitted to It's decision, and that
dilatory motions and legal bubbles
and technicalities will not be per.
mitted to unnecessarily hinder the
progress of business.
An event OF more than usual local
interest is the return Of Elk. Gov.

which he has done more than any
other man to improve and beautify,
after an absence of seven years,
during which time he has been sue

FEW WILL MISS THEE.

Few will miss thee, friend, when thou
For a month in dust hast lain.
Skilful hand and anxious brow,
Tongue of wisdom, busy brain
All thou vert shall be forgot,
And thy place shall know thee not.
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble of thy tomb,
Soon to fit on joyous wing
From that place of death and gloom,
On some bough to MARBLE clear !;
But these songs thou shalt not hear.
Some kind voice may sing thy praise,
Passing near thy place of rest,
Fondly talk of s. other days y
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words of praise,
Or old thoughts of 8 other days.
Since SO fleeing is thy name,
Talent, beauty, power and wit,
1t were well that without shame
Thou in God 3 great book were writ,
There in golden words to be
Craven for eternity.
